Mohamed highlighted that Israel did not get a single mention in the Rycroft review into foreign interference published in March.

Wow. That is stark.

The article says that the debate has taken place. What are the next steps, or is that the end of it ?

He was not a good Prime Minister to his electorate, but he was excellent at representing Israel’s interests (as will his replacement)

A good traffic management plan acknowledges that when child predators slow down to look, it slows everyone else down too. /s

I don’t see the body shaming in this. And joy is an act of resistance.

Vulgar conduct isn’t about representation. And “the people” are having their brains cooked by hysterical unregulated algorithms pushing fear and division.

Pfft

If you have something of substance to say (coherently), I’m happy to listen.

I’m torn on this one, because I think we are complicit for not doing the basics of deleting our accounts. We learned about how powerful boycotts are in school as teenagers.

I get that they buy up all the competition, but for most people these are luxuries rather than essentials.

Not British myself, but this is one of the most tenacious abuses of power I’ve seen in Britain.

I don’t think the EU will fail functionally. It has already failed morally and legally.

I couldn’t have said it better. Some people are genuinely not suited to it without other interventions first, but for everyone else, it’s basic mental hygiene.

Can you look the other way while we do business-as-usual with genocidal entities? That’s the main requirement these days.

Until the far-right lead the dominant EU players such as Germany & France. We’re already up to our necks in genocide so I see no reason to expect basic decency in this context either.

This seems to mean that Meta can’t have the case dismissed. So I’m guessing that other companies who can demonstrate similar downloading patterns, or present similar evidence can also bring a case forward.

I’d imagine that the outcome of the case will be more telling.

Those don’t seem like seismic changes, but if the pace continues it could be significant. My main worry is that we end up with equally shitty companies just under a different jurisdiction.

You know that leading with benign parts doesn’t successfully hide the contradictions and unhinged parts later, right?

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon: Foreign asset.

We need to make a “He gets us (pregnant)” parody.

The days of Having friends to make sketches like this with were so cool.

Yes, but I think radical reforms have been needed since he took office haven’t happened. They’ve gone backwards in some cases.

He has also broken ten of his election promises, IIRC. So I’m basically saying that when a laggard like himself complains, it has less credibility.
